Q4. If a train 150m long crosses a pole in 10 seconds, what is the speed of the train in km/hr?

  1. A. 36 km/hr
  2. B. 45 km/hr
  3. C. 54 km/hr
  4. D. 60 km/hr

Solution

Speed = Distance / Time = 150m / 10s = 15 m/s. To convert m/s to km/hr, multiply by (18/5): 15 * (18/5) = 3 * 18 = 54 km/hr.

Q5. A, B, and C can complete a work in 12, 15, and 20 days respectively. If they work together, in how many days will they complete the work?

  1. A. 4 days
  2. B. 5 days
  3. C. 6 days
  4. D. 8 days

Solution

Their individual daily work rates are 1/12, 1/15, and 1/20. Combined daily work rate = (1/12) + (1/15) + (1/20) = (5+4+3)/60 = 12/60 = 1/5. So, they complete the work in 5 days.

Q6. Find the value of (x^2 + 1/x^2) if (x + 1/x) = 5.

  1. A. 23
  2. B. 25
  3. C. 27
  4. D. 29

Solution

Square both sides of (x + 1/x) = 5: (x + 1/x)^2 = 5^2. This gives x^2 + 2(x)(1/x) + 1/x^2 = 25, which simplifies to x^2 + 2 + 1/x^2 = 25. Therefore, x^2 + 1/x^2 = 25 - 2 = 23.

Q7. Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term. Book : Author :: Food : ?

  1. A. Cook
  2. B. Chef

An author creates a book. Similarly, a chef prepares food. 'Cook' can be a noun or a verb, but 'Chef' specifically denotes a professional who prepares food.

  1. A. 95
  2. B. 127
  3. C. 131
  4. D. 135

Solution

The pattern is (2 * previous number) + 1. So, 3 * 2 + 1 = 7; 7 * 2 + 1 = 15; 15 * 2 + 1 = 31; 31 * 2 + 1 = 63. Therefore, 63 * 2 + 1 = 126 + 1 = 127.

Q9. Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word: 'Concur'

  1. A. Disagree
